President Trump Puts US Service Members in Spotlight During Memorial Day Address “President Donald Trump spoke Tuesday to 1,000 sailors and Marines and a few servicemembers from other branches aboard the [USS Wasp], which was moored at Yokosuka Naval Base” in Japan, Seth Robson reports for Stars and Stripes. “Trump had plenty to tell the troops about his state visit to Japan and meetings with Abe and Emperor Naruhito, who assumed the throne this month. But the president also surprised an enlisted sailor and Marine by calling them onto a stage and inviting them to say a few words of their own.” Click here to read more.

“President Donald Trump landed aboard a Japanese destroyer south of Tokyo where he was greeted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Japanese forces. Speaking on the deck of the J.S. Kaga docked at Yokosuka, Abe spoke of the strong alliance between the United States and Japan. Abe says the fact that he and Trump are standing together on the ship is evidence of the ‘robust’ nature of that alliance,” The Associated Pressreports.

“Democrats are desperately trying to downplay the booming economic success under President Trump [by using identity politics as a wedge] . . . That will be difficult given recent economic data,” Alfredo Ortiz writes in The Hill. “The fact is that Hispanics are flourishing in the Trump economy,” with Hispanic unemployment at a new record low of 4.2 percent and Hispanics driving 70 percent of the recent surge in workforce growth.

“The mantra invoked by those Democrats who are seeking to impeach President Trump is that ‘no one is above the law.’ That, of course, is true, but it is as applicable to Congress as it is to the president. Those members of Congress who are seeking to impeach the president, even though he has not committed any of the specified impeachable offenses set out in the Constitution, are themselves seeking to go above the law,” Alan Dershowitz writes in Fox News. “The time has come to stop weaponizing the Constitution and our legal system for partisan advantage. Impeachment would be a lawless response to undertake, as is the use of partisan committees to obtain an electoral advantage.”

“By the time you’re reading this, the window for the 116th U.S. Congress to notch a significant, substantive accomplishment will be down to 38 ‘working’ days,” Brad Rateike writes in Indianapolis Business Journal. “Five months into this Democrat-led House and what does it have to show for itself? Nothing … Providing political theater is not an accomplishment. Promoting a culture of unlimited congressional investigations is not an accomplishment.”
